The Green Lake National Fish Hatchery in the winter. The large building to the left is the main facility, the portion closest is the broodstock facility and the section jutting out is the administration portion of the facility. To the extreme right are the outdoor tanks.

This photo shows one of the 20-foot outdoor tanks where smolt and parr are held.

The Fry Nursery is within the main building and houses fry salmon.

The view here is of the tagging station, looking toward the broodstock facility.
